In our Journal of Monday we said— the nut after the murder was committed, and the desperate character of lon • tak atm and his deluded followers wls known, were proper measures e tl to "secure and separate him from them ? The military was sum 4074,rand Mr. Handley made a feeble attempt to address Courtenay's Our correspondent supposes that this passage implies a de preciation of Mr. HANDLEY'S exertions, and he says— " The Rev. C. R. Handley is the Vicar of lier ne Hill, the parish in which Francis's house and the osier bed are s ttiated. This Rev. G entleman did not lose a moment in repai ring to e t after he heard of the proceedings. The murd er o f th e eon t_tablpeto took place about ‘ six o'clock in the morning. About twelve Mr. „"andley, accompanied by his brother, Major Handley, repeatedlyex -I°tted his parishioners to leave the murderer to his f a te. H is ex h or. f -4 , t iens were not stopped by the discharge of a pistol ai d me at himsel a his brothb-r • he afterwards approached the rioters near enough to by l name several of his misguided flock. He, the Rev. 3 fLi has the satisfaction to know that several heard and : F b-, ed his injunctions, and left their tyrannical leader before the fatal ter 44 / took place. This reflection will, no doubt, amply console him the animadversion cast upon his name by The Sun." We had not the slightest intention of depreciating the Pro per and humane exertions of Mr. HANDLEY, and the epithet " feeble" was meant to apply to his single, and, except by his b ro th er , una id e d e ff or t t o i n d uce t h e fol -1 4 ' w ers of COURTENAY to leave him, which none of the laagistrates imitated or seconded. It was feeble, not in re lation to ,his charity, zeal, and good will to prevent bloodshed, but in relation to the object to be achieved by the means, at the disposal, and under the direction of the Magistrates—th e Rev, Mr. HANDLEY not being one—and ia relation to what they were bound, in our opinion, to Perform 'before they hurried forward the soldiers and their twit assistants to the bloody affray. We meant no slight 1 ° Mr. HANDLEY, who alone, with his brother, of all the Persons concerned, seems to have had any charitable and hu mane consid era ti on . But there is one fact stated by our correspondent, and we can assur e the reader that his authority is altogether unex ettePtionable, that very much confirms our view, and tends i i r "glY to condemn the precipitation of the magistrates. L l ays, seve ra l o f .111 r. Handley's mug - laded flock " heard ie ; ° 6 e,yed his injun c ti ons , an d LEF T th e ir ty rann i ca l l ea d er e 1 e the fatal affray took place." Is not, there the presumption justified that more of them would left hint, had time and opportunity been allowed them ? a t h as been proved in evidence that they stood much in awe eonivresev ; and thus it becomes a question of great 111°41ent what time was allowed these deluded men to profit M r• HAND L 'Sgood advice.

It fulien said over and over again, that COURTENAY and • e the military, and the imercs- Wea. ' eti generated that l ie soug h t• t h e fi g h t. re ut he m th e os i er bed into the wood—he hid himse ß lf, as " More than once we have expressed our opinion upon this subject, and the profound indignation which we have felt at seeing the flag of Portugal used to cover cargoes of men, who are treated and sold as brute beasts! Horrible thought! Litrnal shame to the Govern ment which is unwilling to put down such scandalous proceedings! Why should not one of those griping l'erri, who in our African posses sions employ their authority to protect this base traffic, which it was their duty to suppress, be brought before the tribunals of justice ? We know not how to answer this question ;.but we know that it cannot be answered without injury to the honour of the Portuguese Go vernment. That treaty ought to be concluded, because the fulfilment of obligations contracted by Portugal, the wishes of the civilized world, the national honour, and the dignity of the Portuguese Sovereign, all require. it; but an adverse fate has not consented to its definitive com pletion, or, rather, a hidden hand, which is employed here in the ser vice of a great nation, and which opposes everything calculated to give honour and stability to the representative system, which it is sought to bring into discredit and render hateful, has been raised against it. " Ministers of the Queen of Portugal! attend to the true interests of the country ; learn to view them as they arc, and not as they are 're. presented by a crafty and fraudulent diplomacy, which, in order to alienate from us the sympathies of a generous nation, leads you to a precipice; t nd, in the quality of Ministers of the Revolution of Septem ber, do not allow it to be said of you with respect to the slave trade, and the difficulty you make of putting it down, what was said by the profound historian of Tiberius, ' imperium flagitio aequisitugs nem° unquant boats art ibus e.rcrcuit.' " it were—and thither he and his followers were pursued by the soldiery, and the " great number of persons" who went to assist the constable. If he struck the first blow at Lieu tenant BENNET, on which some doubt has been thrown, it is clear that the fight was not of his seeking, Lat that he only struck after he had been come up with by the military, and was at bay. He and his followers, seeing the advance of the soldiers, might suppose they were to be slaughtered, not apprehended, and the courage they displayed might bo that of despair, resolved to sell life as dearly as possible. It is an error to suppose that these men sought the fight, and we must exonerate them from the additional guilt of wan tonly assailing persons in authority. There are one or two other current mistakes which we must notice. At first it was stated that the followers of COURTENAY were men of bad character, corrupted by smuggling and sundry vices. To-day we arc told by the reporter of the Times, that— " I was shown the houses of several of the prisoners, and found some of them to be in a situation of life much more respectable than I was at first led to believe. Miles, one of the prisoners liberated yeiterday, resides in a neat cottage, which he built himself, on a little liktrm which is his own property. His son resides near him, in one much like it. For another of them forget his name) his master had built a snug little place, in which he permitted him to reside rcnt.free." They were cot smugglers then, but decent respectable peasantry and little farmers. Another statement is that this affair grew out of the Poor Law ; on the contrary, it secms to have had its source wholly in fanaticism. Of the person last mentioned in the above quotation, it is said— . " But his wife would never let him rest until she persuaded him and his son to join Sir William. Indeed, in this parish the people took the infection of fanaticism a!mo3t naturally, and bitterly indeed are they now ruing the effects of it." There is also this passage in the Times of to-day : " The mention of this lad's name reminds me that his mother, the wife of Mr. Shepherd's bailiff, is said to have done more than any person in the parish to foster and encourage the belief which she her self entertained, that Thorns was our blessed Redeemer and Saviour. So steadfast was she in her belief, that when, after the battle in the wood, a neighbour went to tell her "the awful news" that Thorns was killed, and her own son wounded, she would not credit the information. " Sir William killed !" said she, " no, no, you can't kill him ; it is not the truth ; it is not possible." The reply to her was, "It is the truth, and it is possible." She again asserted that it was not possible. Again the reply was, " It is possible, and it is as true as that your poor boy has got a shot in his thigh." Then, and not till then, would she credit that her son was hurt. But as to Sir William she still remained in credulous, saying, " Mind, three days will show you and all the world what Sir William is. When that time is elapsed, you will see whether he is ha that which he professes to be." The unhappy occurrence then ha I its source altogether in fanaticism, and the women were the chief agents in propagat ing and festering the delusion. Now these circumstances of the deluded men being of a quiet and respectable class, and being under the influence of the women, ought to have been known to the Magistrates and Clergyme❑ of the neighbourhood, and seem to us to de prive the hasty attack made under the guidance and direc tion of the Rev. Dr. POORE of every kind of justification. If neither the Poor-law nor smuggling, but fanaticism was the origin of the calamity ; and, if no man in his senses can say that there is not Church enough at Canterbury and its neighbourhood, it becomes a serious consideration for our Statesmen, under the present demand for new Churches and more endowments, whether the State will tillingly lend its aid to fanaticise the people ? The so-called saints, with their Sabbath Observance ails, &c. &c., who make continued efforts to foster in the minds of the people gloomy superstition, will, we hope, after this lamentable example of their too great success, permit their fanatical ardour to be restrained by considerations of prudence. The Herald says, because no Magisterial order was given to fire, and as the Coroner's Inquest has returned a verdict of justifiable homicide, it considers no Magistrate responsible for all the bloodshed. We differ from our Con temporary. The Coroner's inquest did not inquire into any of the antecedent circumstances of the case, and its verdict was founded on the evidence that the militaryyacted under the orders of the Magistrate, and that dot civil power was insufficient to quell the disturbance. Its verdict completely exonerates the military and the constables, but no investigation has yet taken place into the conduct of the Magistrates. The nation will require a solemn inquiry into that at the hands of its representatives. Be.sides, one party to the inquiry, the helpless, deluded peasantry, the chief of them having been shot, was not heard at that in quest. From the whole nature of the case, the inquiry by the Coroner was necessarily er parte, and though we do not cast the slightest censure on the verdict nor expect, so far a s concerns the soldiery, that it will ever be impugned, we believe that so far as concerns the magistracy—the public the Court of last appeal—will never consent to return a verdict of justifiable homicide. We have much pleasure in directing the attention of our Anti-Slavery readers to the following article on the subject of the rejection by Portugal of the British Anti- Slave Treaty, translated from the Correio, a Lisbon jour nal,of the 30th ult.—the day of Lord Howmin DE WAL DEN'S embarkation w ith th e unra tified Treaty for England. It is gratifying to know that the conduct of the Portu guese Government .upon this question is opposed to the moral feelings of some portion of the people, and that by the more intelligent the disgrace which it must reflect upon the national character is rightly appreciated : " We have reason to believe that the project of treaty, which was on the point of being signed between the Portuguese and English Go vernments, in order to put an end to this infamous traffic, has not been definitively concluded. Much indignation, real or pretended, has been thrown away upon those parts of Serjeant TALFOURD'S Copyright Bill, to which it has pleased certain persons to assign a retrospective operation. We have, however, remarked, that a guarded silence has been maintained by those itarsons on what we cannot help considering as a radical defect in the prospective operation of the measure. Publishers, and those who advocate their interests in opposition to those of authors, assert that the price given for a copyright will scarcely, if at all, be affected by the proposed extension of the term ; that is to say, that a publisher will give rib more for a copyright after the passing of the Bill than he would do at present. If this be really the case, it is the , duty of the legislature to take care that the benefit which it in tends for authors and their families be not di verted from them, and engrossed by the publishers. If, as the latter allege, the extension of the term will not bring with it an increased price of copyright, then the result must be that authors will be just where they were while the public will be deprived of the privilege which it now enjoy s in the reversion of literary works at the end of the existing term, the assignee or publisher alone profiting by the, alteration of the law. To secure, there fore, to authors and their families the full advantage which it is the object of the Bill to confer upon them, it is obvious that a clause must be introduced restricting the assignment of the copyright to a portion, say a third or a half, of the whole term granted to the author! Without some such provision as this, the Bill, as it appears to us, will not only fail of its object, but do more harm than good. At the same time we are ready to allow that in cases where the author had parted with his copy right, and had therefore no legal claim upon the publisher, he has frequently received additional remuneration when the profits of the work were greater than had been anticipated. But while we willingly bear testimony to the liberality of some of the metropolitan publishers, whom it migkt be in vidious to name, we must protest against one class of men being left to the generosity, or rather mercy of another, when the law ought equally to protect both. New York papers to the 13th ult. have been received today. They contain no political news whatever. The Banks were discounting liberally, and the inland exchanges were improving.

For other details, and particularly a Message from President VAN BUREN relative to the state of the Treasury, we refer to our City article. Monday being the feast of Pentecost, and consequently observed as a holiday of tile first class in all Catholic countries, only four French Journals—namely, the Na tional, the Constitutionnel, the Courrier Francais, and the Commerce appeared in Paris on that day, and these we have received in due course. Their contents are of very little interest. In the Chamber of Deputies the Budget of thn Minister of Public Instruction was under consideration, and as might be expected, gave rise to long discussions re lative to the progress of general education in France. The IXputies were at sixes and sevens about the relative im portance of languages, living and dead, and a knowledge of the physical sciences, as suited to the wants of modern society. Some were all for the dead languages ; others only for the living ; and a few for no language at all, save a knowledge of the mother tongue. The same difference of opinion prevailed with respect to science.. The great mis ' take of the French Deputies is in attempting to separate the necessary branches of a course of instruction which, in the constitution of scholastic intelligence, are inseparable. To the formation and culture of a mind of a high order, a knowledge of the principles of physical and moral science, and an acquaintance with the riches of Grecian, Roman, and Oriental Literature, are equally necessary. Advices from Naples represent the people of Calabria as in a state bordering on open rebellion. The reviews in Prussia have been attended with several calamitous accidents. The assembled Sovereigns, among other warlike amusements, • ordered Spandau to be be leaguered in form, and defended by a garrison forbidden to capitulate. After several days the town was carried by storm, with a due observance of all the rules of war ; but unfortunately not without loss of life, and the infliction of many grievous bodily injuries. When will Sovereigns cease to purchase pleasure at the expense of the lives of their subjects? The Commerce Bclge, in its Number of Saturday, contains the fol lowing article : " We arc able now to affirm that the 13eIglan Cabinet has been called on to proceed to the execution of the treaty of 15th November (the treaty of the 24 Articles). " We may add, that the King has caused a note to be presented to France and England, in which he remonstrates against the tardy agents of Holland to the treaty, declaring, that what was possible in 1831, is impossible in 1838. " The journey of M. Van Praet is connected with this protest; and as the Paris Journals announce that he has had an audience of Louis- Philippe, there is no doubt that Leopold's private Secretary is sent to demonstrate the necessity of a modification of the 24 Articles with respect to the territory and the debt. " M. Van Pratt was expected back from Paris last night." FRONTIECS OF SPAIN.—A letter from Arneguy of 26th May, says— " I hasten to inform you that the Carlist Brigadier, General Zubiri, who commands at Eurguete and on the Line, has narrowly escaped being assassinated by his soldiers, who mutinied against him. He managed to save himself by flight, together with his son, carrying a few things on his back. This affair is connected with that series of in surrections which appear in all the districts occupied by the Carlists. I expect further details, which I will send you." A private letter from Logrono, of the 27th May, has the following : " P.S. A courier who has this moment arrived states that Dc,i Carlos is making a show of attacking Mandareia, but that it has been decided in his Council that he shall endeavour to press into the Asturias. This news has been sent to the General in-Chief."—Le Commerce. German and Dutch Papers have arrived this morning, rom which we make the following extracts : BERLIN, May 25.—Professor Braun, of Bonn, who was far some time at Rents, with Professor Elvenel, of Breslau, on account of the differences respecting the doctrines of the late Professor Hermes, has b3en for some days here. The statements lately propagated by several German journals, that the Pope has lately again reverted to the subject of the Hermesean doctrines, and suspended his former resolution, is of course unfounded. On the other hand, we learn from the most autho ritative source that the sentiments of all considerate and impartial persons at Rome itself have by no means been expressed against the Prussian Government; but that, on the contrary, it has numerous ad_ vocates, especially when they have been made acquainted with many errrors in the Roman official papers, and that they duly appreciate and sincerely regret the ivjudicious conduct of tome over zealous friends of Rome in Germany. VIENNA, Max s:s.—Her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma is expected to-day at Schonbrunn, where she will prolong her visit till the departure of the linperial Courts at Milan. Accounts from Semlin announce that in consequence of the general im_ provements of the sanitary state of the Turkish provinces, the time of quarantine on the frontiers of Servia is again reduced to ten days. I\l . Von Michanovich, the Austrian Consul at Belgrade, has arrived here from that city. FRANKFOItT, MAY 9.7.—The Austrian General Von Rodetzki, who is appointed President of the Military Committee of the German Con federation in the room of General Von Weldcn, is expected to arrive here on Tuesday. It is reported that Prussians are collected in the vici nity of Treves, and the objects of this measure is to cover, in case of any disturbance, the fortress of Luxemburg, where great exertions have been long making to strengthen the outworks. ROTTERDAM, JUNE 4.—His Excellency Count StrogonotT, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Emperor of Russia, arrived here yesterday wi t h his lady and suite, on his way to London. Prince Christian of Steawig Holstein Glucksburg is appointed by the King of Denmark to represent him at the coronation of the Queen of England. The lleveu de Bruxelles contains in its last number a long representa_ tion by M. Dumortier, the object of which is to prove that Belgium ought to oppose the treaty of the 24 articles. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMiTERDAM, TUNE 4. Madrid Papers of the 28th ult. have come to hand. On that clay the Duke de FEZENZAC, the new French Ambassador, was to present his credentials to the REGENT. His Excellency had previously communicated the speech in which he wished to address her MAJESTY,. to Count D'OrAtAA. It is said that the speech, though full of bright anticipations of the future, and saying as much as could be said on such an occasion about the sympathy of France with the Constitutional cause, does not contain the least allusion to the Quadruple Treaty. Count D'OFALIA, as President of the Council, and Minister, pro tens, of Foreign'Affairs, drew up the REGENT'S answer. It re-echoes the glorious anticipations of the French Mi nister, without touching upon any other topic. In the Cortes the immediate subject of discussion was the Tithe Bill. This is legislating by anticipation. Legislators less sanguine than the Spanish Deputies would allow the Tithe question to stand over till the conclusion of the war ; but the Spaniards are always doing what they might leave undone, and leaving undone what they ought to he doing. There is very little news of any importance from the north of Spain. Two reports were in circulation : accord in, to one, the King of PRUSSIA was about to join the Quadruple Alliance, and recognise Queen ISABELLA 11. ; the other stated, that in the course of the present month Don CARLOS would receive a hundred millions of reals, part of a new loan advanced by the great Northern Powers. The following extract from a letter from Log rono, dated the 27th ult., includes the only rumours from that quarter worth adverting to : .. Espartero arrived yesterday at Viana with all his cavalry ; and Buerens, with his division of nine hundred men, has received orders to come to this town. It is supposed that Espartero has received orders from the Ministry to attack Estella. Alaix, having driven the Carlists from Santa Barbara, has taken possession of this point with two battalions, to open a road on Estella. On the 24th fifty soldiers of the 2d battalion of Navarre deserted with, arms and baggage to Lodosa. A courier, who has just arrived, announces that Don Carlos is threat ening an attack on Mendavia, and that he has decided on trying to pass into the Asturias. The execution of Urra, the condemnation of Zaratieigni to death, and that of Elio to perpetual imprisonment, has excited great discontent among the Basques, They dare not execute Zaratieigui, for fear of a geher::l insurrection, and they have him a pardon if the malcontent s w il l return to their duty. Don Carlos has been advised to put to d eath th e whole family of Munagorri, but Villareal represented to hi m th at this sanguinary order would for ever alienate his party from him." We have no acco un t o f t h e recent movements of ESPAR " TER° and the Genet'al s o f t h e Army of the North. Small bands of Carlists• h ave re - appeared in Catalonia. offered Yesterday William Toner, master of the Indiaman Mount Stewart Elphinstone, appeared at the Thames Police Office to answer the charge of st a bbi ng W illiam Truss, a seamen on the high seas. From the compl a i nant ' s own statement, however, it,appeared that the stabbing occur re d on t h e 15th of October last; during the voyage out, and that the cha rge might have been pr e f erre d b e f o re the British autism ities iii kdia ; iu copsyqueuce of wl,it,li circumstance Mr. Ballan. tine and Mr. tircenwood concurred in refusing to hold the Captain to bail, leaving the complainant to bring his case, should he think fit, before a Jury.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. -We have received Sydney Papers to the 16th February; also New York Papers to the 13th May. The President sent a message to the Senate and House of Represen tatives, on the condition of the Treasury : " I submit to the consideration of Congress a statemenitrepared by the Secretary of the Treasury, by which it appears that the United States, with over twenty millions in deposit with the States, and over fifteen millions due from individuals and banks, and from the situation in which these funds arc placed, are in immediate danger of being ren dered unable to discharge, with good faith and promptitude, the various pecuniary obligations of the Government. " The occurrence of this result has for 501112 time been apprehended, and eflo; is made to arrest it. As the principal difficulty arises from a pro. hibitior, in the present law, to re-issue such Treasury notes asmight be paid in before they felldue, and may be effectually obviated, by giving :II? Treasury, during the whole year, the benefit of the specie amount originally authorized, the remedy would seem to be obvious and easy. " The serious embarrassments likely to arise from a longer continu ance of the present state of things induces me respectfully to invite the earliest attention of Congress to the subject which may be consistent with a due regard for other public interests. " May 10, 1838." M. VAN BUREN." After the above message there is a long statement from the Treasury Department, with a statement concerning some final embarrassments which were likely soon to happen unless averted by early legislation. Exchange on London, 61 to 7 ; Bank Shares, 116 i. _ - From the Commercial List, May 12 Exchange.—We continue the previous quotations for Eurcpezm Bills. Nothing of importance has been done since the sailing of the packet of the Bth inst. The above papers were received by the ship Republic (not a packet ship) at Liverpool. The following is the substance of the important Treasury circular, ex. • • "' _ _ libiting the embarassments of the Government. It states that the diffi culties have arisen in consequence of the deficiency in the public revenue. The Act of October last authorized the issue of Treasury notes, and over five millions and a half of them have been paid in as duties, though none fall due until November next. As these notes could not be re-issued, they were entirely useless to defray the large ex. penditure made chargeable upon the emission. Instead, therefore, of having from two to six millions of dollars available, there were only 564,9.34 dollars availabf , . During the present year duties have been paid in money only to the extent of one-fourth the.usual amount. The Treasury had to meet an expenditure of two millions monthly, and in April of nearly three millions. As more than four millions of Treasury notes are still outstanding, and as the Banks generally have not resumed siccie payment, it is probable that the greater portion of the Revenue will, for same time, be paid by these unavailable Treasury notes ; a; no power, exists except in Congress, to recall the deposits from a e banks,' or the sums due from postponed Custom-house bonds. It is ma. Direst that the Treasury department is exposed daily to be deprived of the whole of its available money, and the credit of Government, ,at home and abroad, most injuriously affected. Congress could arrest these results by removing the prohibition to re-issue the notes which may have been prematurely paid in, or by allowing an issue of fresh notes. By the adoption of either of these measures the anticipated cmbarassments in 1838 can probably be obviated.. If neither of the measures proposed be approved by Congress aka very early day, it will be impossible to preserve the national faith unbreken, and to avert the injuries with which the public service le threatened.

After the baptism, Mr. Symonds, in a lengthened address, gave for his reasons for embracing Christianity, and for becoming a baptist, founding his arguments on the word of Jude; in the progress of his remarks we learnt that Mr. S. bad officiated several years as a Jew Rabbi, and that he has endured persecution and loss of property.

The case came before the Court upon appeal front the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, decreeing the specific performance of an agreement for a lease from Lord Dunalley, of certain lead-mines in the county of Tipperary. The plaintiffs were some of the members of the Dunaliey and Tipperary Mining Company, and in 1833, through the instrumentality of , Salmon, it was agreed between the parties that a lease should be grantad of the mines. Lord Dunalley was willing to grant the lease in question, but salmon objected to his Lordship doing so, unless he was allowed by the Company one thirty-seeond part of the benefit to be derived by the lease, which he ass,rted it was agreed he should hare for his trouble, in procuring the lease, The argument had not concluded when our Itcpn. - ter left.

Nothing fresh in Brandy, Corn Spirits, or Ge neva, and not much doing in them. COLONIAL MARKETS. Business resumed this merning for the first time since the holidays, and as the sales announced of the primary commodities were rather large there was some little stir amongst the brokers and dealers. The market, it will be remembered, left off firm. The first sale was of 4,915 bags Manilla Sugar, the bulk of which was bought in at prices much above the value of the commodity owing to the firmness of importers. There were also sales of 130 hogsheads of Barbadoes, 1,100 bags of Bengal, and 7,713 bags of Mauritius Sugar. Also of Coffee 811 bags Ceylon. 6d. duty ; and 359 casks Bd. tish Plantation ; 1,300 packets of East India Rice. Some Ginger and Pimento. The Rice sold quite as dear before, we should say rather clearer. We quote the whole of the Raw Sugar market firm ; and also the Coffee market. In fact, Ceylon and British Plantation went rather dearer. Other articles presented nothing for parlicuiar remark. The imports today were rather light up to the time of our going to press. For tomorrow, the sales arc 5,000 bags Mauritius; 760 Bengal; 11 chests Havannah Sugar. Of Coffee—Soo Ceylon ; 210 casks and 200 bags British Plantation; and 220 of Brazil; 000 bags Bengal Rice and some Spices. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

THE LATE AFFRAY AT CANTERBURY.--We understand it to be the intention of Lord Teynham to give notice to-morrow in the House of Lords that he will move for a Commission, to consist of Members of both Houses of Par. liament, to investigate the late melancholy event which has taken place near Canterbury, in Kent. • LIP FANATICISM OF COURTENAY'S FOLLOW ERs.—Of the general belief in the neighbourhood that Courtenay was the Saviour, I saw a • strong proof in some writing which I found on the parsonage barn at Herne-hill. It has been there for the last ten days, and is said to be in the handwriting of Wills. On the left side of the door is written in one long line these words, with spelling and capitals just as I have copied them :—" If you new ho was on earth your harts Wod turn ;" then in another—" But dont Wate to late ;" and then in a third, "They how It." On the right side of the door is the following:—" 0 that great day of gudgement is close at hand;" in another, " it now peps in the dor every man according to his woks;'' and in a third, " Our rites and liberties We Will have." Thorns did several things, and used several expressions, even during his late out break, in imitation of our Saviour. I mentioned some of them in a former communication. At one of the places where he ordered provi sions for his followers it was in these words, " Feed my sheep." To' convince his disciples of his divine commission, he is said to have pointed his pistol at the stars, and told them that be would make them fall from their spheres. He then fired at some bright peculiar star, and his pistol having been rammed down with tow steeped in oil, and sprinkled over with steel filings, produced, on being fired, certain bright sparkles of light, which he immediately said were falling stars. Again, in the early part of his progress on Monday, he went away from Iris followers with a man of the name of Wills, and two others of the rioters, - saying to them, "Do you stay here, 'whilst I go yonder," pointing to a bean stack, " and strike the bloody blow." When they arrived at the stack, to which they marched with a flag, the flag-bearer laid his flag on the ground, and knelt down to pray. The other then put in, it is said, a lighted match ; but Thorns seized it and forbade it to burn, and the fire was not kindled. This, on their return to the company, was announced as a miracle worked by the Saviour. There is another of his acts, which he men tioned as one of the proofs of 'his divinity, that I confess myself at a loss to understand. After he had fired one shot at the constable Mears, and subsequently chopped at him with his dirk, he went into the house, seized a loaded pistol, and on coming out said, " Now am I not your Saviour ?" The words were scarcely out of his mouth, when he pulled the trigger of his pistol and shot Mears a second time. A robbery was yesterday effected at the house of Mr. Barnes, Park-place,.ackham, by a person getting over the garden wall, and entering by the passage to the parlour. and having taken a silver watch and spoons, together with a pair of plated candlesticks, he was discovered, when he threw down the latter articles in the passage, and made his escape. According to what we hear from Milan, the prepa rations for the coronation there indicate that the solemnity will be at. tended with a magnificence never before displayed. In every part of the town houses are being pulled town, and new ones erected ; all the public buildings are being repaired, and several streets widened; the triumphal arch and the cathedral will at last be finished: Mercadante is to compose two new masses. From Vienna alone orders have been received for . the hiring of 250 apartments, and all the small towns in the environs will be filled with the attendants of the Court and foreign visitors. We are glad to observe that the cattle trade is again reviving. From our export list it will be seen that a great number have been shipped:this week. The prices in London are not high, but farmers are generally of opinion that there is a prospect of their being better soon.—Aberdeen Herald. A quantity of turf on the bog of Annabeg ignited last Saturday night, from its proximity to a fallow field, which was on fire, and great part of it was burnt.—Limerick Chronicle. THE INDUS.—The opening of the Indus appears to have given already an impulse to the native trade, and promises to offer new markets for British goods in Candahar, Calm', and Bokhara, as well as Sinde. Some Parsee merchants ha% e succeeded in navi gating the Indus up to Loodeanah ; and this experiment was followed by another, a boat having reached that place from Bombay, freighted with English manufactures, intended for the Punjaub market. A consider able return trade from the Punjaub to Bombay, in sugar, raw and re fined. has also recently sprung up.—Asiatic Journal. The Sirius steamer left Cork on Friday for New York, with 58 passengers (including Mr. Kcnnedy..to join the suite of Lord Durham). Her departure was cheered by upwards of •0,000 per sons, and the Yacht Club battery at Cove gave her a salute of 17 guns. o 73 6 U 2 6 0 4 R 3 0 3 MARKETS. Beef (per 1b.... Os. 2d. to Os. V.

Power was given by the deed to the Noble Lord to sell the property where it was required for a railway OT canal, or any undertaking authorised by Parliament. In the present in stance, although the Company was authorised lq Parliament, yet as it could not be said that the property was required for the pur_ poses of the Act, but that other land, situated in the neigh bourhood, would answer the purpose, it was supposed, on behalf of the defendants, that that circumstance would prevent the Noble plaintiff from making a good title. In addition to this, the agreement for the purchase was made before the Act of Parliament passed. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE appeared for the plaintiff, together with Mr. ROMILLY ; and Mr. Jncoa was Counsel for the Company. The VICR-CHANCELLOR was'clearly of opinion that Lord Kensington could make a good title to the property, but if the defendants wished it he felt himself bound in justice to direct a case for tke opinion of a. Court of law. • The case was then ordered to stand over for a few days, upon the un derstanding that if the defendants did not ask within that time for a case, then the opinion expressed by his Honour should be considered binding. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Arrelderly man named John Nichols was brought up by Baines, a con. stable of the F division, charged wltli being drunk )sat night in Mon. mouth-street, and attempting to throw himself under the wheels of a cabriolet. The prisoner had been in custody upon a similor charge on a former occasion, and while in the cell the Inspector on duty had to put handcias upon him to prevent him from committing self destruction. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was a furniture dealer in Lambeth and had suffereegreat losses in his business, which so affected him at times that he did not know what he was about. Mr. Twvsono directed the constable to take charge of him and liver him up to his friends. LITERATURE. NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. No. 111. Nicholas Nickleby is greatly improved this month. The account of the school establislnoent of Mr. Wackford Squeers, and of his domestic peculiarities f is touched off with uncommon spirit in Boz's most graphic manner. But the liveliest chapter in the number is that wherein the author describes the flirtation of the amiable Miss Fanny Squeers: with young .Nicholas, which is a scene provocative of iaextinguishahle laughter. As for the hard, griping man of business, old Ralph Nickleby, there is rather too much of the unmitigated and immitigable scoundrel about him. One or two softening traits of humanity should be thrown iato this character—for even the Devil himself is not so black as he is painted—if only as a sacrifice to p:obability. The plates abound in humour as usual. THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF SCOTLAND. No. XVIII. The present Number of this valuable work contains the greater portion of the county of Kincardine, together with the conclusion of the account of Dumfries-shire, which was left unfurnished in a former Number. We are happy to perceive that Kincardineshire, though rather unfavourably situated in some respects, is not behind the contiguous districts in the improvements which have been going on during the last forty or fifty years. If due allowance be made for the bleakness of the climate, and the other natural obstacles with which the cultivator of the soil has to contend in this quarter, it may be doubted whether any part of Scotland is entitled to take precedence of this county in point of agricultural improvement. With respect to the executio❑ of the present Number, it may be remarked, that it is in general creditable to the contributors of the various articles, almost all of which are written in that plain and unostentatious style which befits statistical subjects, We are, however, bound to except from this praise the account of the parish of Garrock, which, besides being three times as long as it ought to be, is rendered perfectly ridiculous by ap in fl of style, compared to which, the highest flights of Macpherson's Ossian are as nothing. We would recom mend to those who have the superintendence of thi work, to be more careful in revising the papers befor o they are scat to press, than they appear to have been in the preparation of the present Number. In the account of the Parish of Fordun, we find it gravely stated as a fact, that John of Fordun, the author of the Scotichronicon, is mentioned " l.y Bode," though in the next sentence we are told that " it is generally believed that he was a priest in the Church of Fordun, in 1377. We may also observe that to say that the sea has " flown," as it is expressed in the account of Nigg, is hardly excus able in a clergyman, and one, too, who is almost within the sound of a college bell. RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS. 2 VOLS. London, Coll urn, 183 g. The second series of this popular work has just appeared in a'eollected form ; but as many of the " Recollections" contained in it, have already been published in the " Me tropolitan," and were noticed by us from time to time in our usual monthly reviews of the Magazines, we need say no more on the present occasion than that the author has acted wisely in republishing them, for they are very in teresting. TREA TISE ON FLY-FISHING. London, Simphin, 1838. Though we are no anglers, having never bet once in our lives caught a minnow, which must have caught itself—for we have not the vanity to suppose that we caught it—yet we have perused this lively little treatise on angling with pleasure, for it is penned in a succinct and unaffected style ; is undo faced by technicalities ; and contains not a few descrip tions—chiefly of the scenery in the romantic neighbourhood of the river Dove—which in simplicity and animation may vie with Cotton's sketches of the same picturesque lands cape. Some of the author's notes are, however, startling, especially the one wherein he relates an anecdote of a perch having been caught in Dalswinton Loch, by " swal lowing its own eye"—which is a statement that, notwith standing all our faith, we cannot prevail on ourselves to swallow. Those who wish to learn the particulars of this extraordinary case, will find them fully explained in a long - note attached to the tenth page of the treatise. An incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon last by the taking fright of a powerful horse which at one time placed the lives of a number of individuals in imminent danger. On the animal was mounted a youth whose shoes were furnished with a pair of spurs, the points of which appear to have penetrated deeply into the horse's sides. The animal became restive, and started off at a frightful speed ; the lad clung with arms and legs twitched close, and unconsciously forced the spurs into the skies of the affrighted animal. Ou arriving near St. Mark's Church it took possession of the pavement, when every instant it was expected that come of the numerous foot passengers on the west side would be knocked down, but fortunately no injury occurred until the infuriated animal with its youthful rider arrived at Stonebow, where not being able to keep in a direct line any longer, it made a leap at the open window of a shop, and on thrusting forward its fore legs stuck fast for a second or so before it could recover itself, and the lad slipped oft unhurt. Had the horse made a clear leap into the shop the boy must have been dashed to atoms against the wall above the window, it not being sufficiently high to admit a horse and its rider. The horse escaped without the least injury.—Lincoln Gazette. Great interest has been excited relative to the case of the man who was shot from the 11,inbow. . Lyon, the constable, with Mated, have used every exertion to find the Lieutenant, but hitherto in vain. From all that we have heard nothing appears to induce us to think that the Waterman intended to rob the ship, and we regret his re fusal to comply with the request of the Marine.—llanyshire Indepen. dent. We alluded on Monday to a tithe affray that oc curred at Waterford on the previous Friday, in which the police were sadly bruised and beaten, It happens rather remarkably, that in an other quarter of the same country, a few days before, some women were arrested for obstructing the Sheriff in a tithe seizure, and for throwing etc nes at the police. IRELAND.—We have no news from Ireland to-day. By our correspondence there, as well as by the Iri0) journals, we see that the bitterness of the tithe-war is undiminished, and it would ap. pear that so great is the existing antipathy to tithes, that the hostility of the people is confined to neither sex nor age. ANCIENT RELIC.—A very rare and curious sword blade was lately sold by auction at Lochnell, where it had remained for nearly a century. It was dug otit o f a tumulus in Berego n ium, the a n . cient capital of the Caledonians (the Selina of Ossian), by General 'Wade'ssoldiers, the military of road in that dist r i c t, and was Lochnell, who ever r egar d ed i t as the "sword of Luno , which o r l e d s i e e n r t s e presented to he Sir n c o nstructing ( D m s u t n r c u a c n tin c g in t a l l i ,be gave no second wound." It is evidently of great antiquity; and being a single-handed sword, goes far to establish the herculean strength and power of the ancient Caledonians. A single glance at the relic will convince any one that it never could have been handled "by the sons of Ettle men " The blade, which has unfortu nately lately lost about an inch off the point, measured three feet four inches in length; its weight is two lbs. fourteen ounces and a half; its breadth near the hilt two inches ; and when the sword was complete, with handle, &c., bolero being corroded, it could nut have weighed less than six or sevtn 11:S.—Edinburgh Courant. •
